Joemmegang

We’re excited for you to try Joemmegang, the newest beer in our Brewmaster’s Obsession series. We think that it’s a perfect marriage of coffee, beer, and chocolate.

The beer begins as a malty brown ale, comprised of Belgian aroma, caramel malts, and oats. A bit of lactose adds body and some sweetness, and a heaping helping of cocoa nibs in the whirlpool provides further richness, and a deep chocolaty aroma. Hop aroma is nonexistent, and bitterness is there just to keep the sweetness in check.

We worked with our great friends at Stagecoach Coffee in Cooperstown to come up with a custom coffee blend that complimented our base beer. Sumatra, Papua New Guinea, and French roast form a combination with chocolate, earth, spice, fruit, and light roast characteristics. Following primary fermentation the beer is cold crashed and yeast is removed. Coffee is added to a secondary tank and the beer is circulated through the freshly roasted beans to extract even more flavor and aroma.

The result is really something special: aromas of cold brewed coffee, milk chocolate and rich malt – the taste follows, round, smooth and creamy, with a touch of sweetness.

Is this the list of states correct? Is this beer not going to be made available in New York State? Is that true of all the Brewmaster’s Obsessions? What else have I been missing from Ommegang by living in lower Manhattan? Do I blame you or your distributors? Or perhaps both?

Sorry for the delay, Vaughn. I’ve been checking the beer finder to see when Joemmegang would pop up but no luck so far. It looks like there are nearly 20 locations within a mile of your zip code that carry Ommegang but not specifically Joemmegang. If they haven’t heard of our beers at all, they either haven’t purchased beer from us for a while but are still in the system or that particular staff member isn’t familiar with our brand. It doesn’t look like Joemmegang is available yet in metro-NYC. It’s not showing up on the beer finder at all within 25 miles of the city. Since you live in NYS, we can ship it directly to you from the brewery if it’s still in stock here. Would you like me to check with the store at noon when they open? Sorry again! Sometimes it takes a while for new beers to make it to the shelves.
